We are headed to Colorado for Christmas this year to visit family...WOO HOO!! Its been quite a while since I've traveled outside of Alaska for an extended period of time. (Heck it's been a while since I've traveled anywhere that didn't involve 4-wheelers and camping.) Since we will be there for a little over two weeks, I'm starting to get things together for the trip. I had to order a new suitcase and am looking into a new laptop bag and what not. Anways...I don't usually bring alot of jewelry with me because my necklaces always get all tangled up. But I really want to bring some with me this time. So I started looking around and thinking about it. I really like the idea of the jewelry roll. And it just so happens that I had everything I needed to make one at home already. I had one organic cloth diaper left over, from the burp cloths I made a while back, which made the perfect backer. I used the last bit of Amy Butler fabric I had, also left over from that project, and the last bit of blue fabric I had left from my family tree project.
I made three strips to be used as pockets to hold the bottoms of my necklaces and earrings and one more strip for the top to "hang" my necklaces from.
I made a flap to cover everything and ensure that nothing falls out.
Now I can take my necklaces with me when I travel and not worry about them getting all tangled up:~)
Such a cute idea!! I <3 it!
